Maybe it's just cope, but my longstanding conviction is that what fascists experience as "love" would not be recognizable as such to real humans

Sorry, having some decision paralysis over what deck to do next. Should have that sorted out in the next couple of days.
In the meantime, anyone got any suggestions for dealing with a pillar candle whose wick isn’t centered and is making its lopsidedness worse every time you burn it?

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

The People Who Were Here First said Abolish ICE and danced about it. In any sane world what would be the end of it. If the Native Peoples said these immigrants can stay, they can stay.

Today’s tarot card: the King of Cups. Who are the safe men in your life? Who brings you energy that is stable, warm, caring, fair, and protective? To whom can you go to feel listened to, cared for, and cherished? Who can speak hard truths to you and hear your truth, without evoking fear or shame?

And what the Houston grid fails to represent in fullness is that that small cross offset from the compass is *Downtown*. The entire city center is at an angle to avoid having Buffalo Bayou wander through the middle of it instead of forming the border.
I think they're implying that Boston is only hard to drive in? Like, no? Its layout defies human comprehension.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

Today’s tarot draw: the Four of Wands. What do you have to celebrate? Who can you celebrate with? Who are you coming together with, either to commemorate something important or to create something new together?

Today’s tarot draw: the Three of Swords. Who has cut themselves out of your life, or needs to be cut out even though it will wound you? How do you hold space for pain and grief, to allow healing to happen? What will restart a broken heart?

Step 1: Create street violence
Step 2: Blame enemy group for street violence
Step 3: Brutally oppress enemy group in the name of ending street violence
Step 4: Tell goons to provoke less violence for a sec
Step 5: "You have to give us more power so we can prevent street violence in the future."

Today’s tarot draw: the Emperor. Who holds power over you, and to Whom are they accountable? How do you uphold power structures, whether just or unjust? How can you manifest strength and decisiveness while still allowing everyone affected by a decision a voice?

Toad the Wet Sprocket’s “Walk on the Ocean” is clearly about a group of dumbass young humans encountering a group of Fae between the salt water and the sea strand, and not realizing what happened until they’d left. Fight me.

Today’s tarot draw: the Page of Wands. Where are you learning to speak up and express your own desires, instead of those you are “supposed” to have? Are you daring to act on those desires? What do you need to learn or acquire in order to act on your Will?
